Poor wee Lewis

There wasn't much else he could've done. To try and resist a young, fired up driver with nothing much to lose who was so much faster than Prost was at that point would have ended in tears. Prost had a WC to think about, Senna didn't.

not really, prost admitted post race that he would not have held senna up, so (unlike in later years) there would have been no taking each other off.

F1 has been a farce for quite a few years now. The regs are not designed to promote good racing. For instance the FIA like wings because they are great billboard space for sponsors; consequently they love the pitstops because it gives valuable time with the sponsors' logos filling your TV screens.

They should do away with wings so that cars can follow closely without loss of downforce; this would promote overtaking on the entrance to bends, and wings have no relevance to real world cars. They ought to do away with pitstops for fuel, allowing them only for tyre changes after punctures, or rain. The challenge of doing a full race with one tank of fuel might actually lead to more economical engine designs with a spin-off for everyday drivers. Races should not be won, or lost, on pitstop strategy - it ought to be drivers and cars that decide a race. Other regs ought to be kept to a bare minimum to promote innovation.

I personally find both Hamilton and the McLaren team extremely smug and irritating.

Yes. Bunch of corporate whores.

ynow what - i reckon F1 would be bloody interesting if drivers had to drive a different car from a different team at each GP. Then we'd see how much skill was down to the driver and how much was down to the machine.

A lot of people come out with this, but one of the things I find interesting about F1 is the cars and how good (or otherwise) they are. It's nice to see MasseyFergusson - Mclaren (and many of the other erstwhile top teams) struggling with a dog so far this year.
